    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I was expecting a very scary corporate environment, but my placement ended up proving to be something different altogether. It was certainly corporate and serious, but I didn’t feel any stress or pressure, and everyone was really nice.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I felt quite valued by them, not indispensible, but quite valued, it was good.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My supervisor was excellent at giving guidance or asking others (who would be better) to give guidance; I never felt lost in my placement.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Some days I had almost too much to do where I was scared I wouldn’t meet my deadlines, and on other days I had next to nothing.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • The work I was doing was quite important, and I was left to handle it solo so it was quite a responsibility.

    3/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Everything I’ve learnt, from the technical skills to working in an office environment will come in very handy I’m sure, I’m very grateful!

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • There was always time for a chat or a laugh, but at the same time everyone was very focused. It felt like an excellent balance. Everyone was certainly very nice.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • There was no computer when I first arrived, so I literally couldn’t even start to learn what to do until a few days in, before then it was just reading massive procedures. Then I had barely nay work to do for a lot of it, and only got a fair amount at about half way through. But on the whole, my line manager was very organised and kept on top of actions we agreed on in meetings and such.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I think I had a lot of opportunities available to me. As a part of the Lloyds Scholars programme, I have even more so there is a lot of personal development. My line manager also helped my with professional personal development a lot as well

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • There could have been more interaction, but I still go to know a bunch of people.

    4/5
